Posted in Real Estate on January 30th, 2008

For a large majority of people, their pets are a part of the family, not just a hobby or an afterthought. So when it comes to finding a new place to live, whether or not pets are welcome is a primary concern. With the condos on the 1100 block of Osterman Avenue, that isn’t an issue because pets are welcome.

A one bedroom, one bath with with two parking spaces will range in the low to mid $190,000s. There is about 1000 square feet of living space in a unit like that. The traditional brinck building was constructed in 1960, but many if not most of the units have been remodeled.

The kitchens aren’t large, but new hardwood floors have been installed and give it a fresh look. Newer, more energy efficient appliances such as a refrigerator, range with oven and dishwasher combine for a great cooking recipe. The dining and living rooms are usually combined, but have enough space to be comfortable. The master bedroom is also roomy enough for comfort. The baths in these condos have been renovated recently and contain many new fixtures and details. Most of the rooms have had new hardwood flooring put down, which gives any room a new look.

The condos have window air conditioning units and gas fueled hot water/steam heating. Standard features include a washer and dryer and smoke and carbon detectors. The monthly assessment covers the heating, water usage, trash pick up and common insurance.

There are New Chicago Condo Listings going up on a regular basis, so it pays to check back often.
